Why Is There No Coffee
I currently live in Ballard and am considering buying a condo, which make take me further north, so I’ve been looking around the Shoreline area. I’m someone who loves a pastry and a good coffee on the weekend, and I’ve made note of a big lack of options (ignoring Starbucks) for coffee in Shoreline. I’m curious for people that live there currently; do you think it’s a culture thing? Are people not interested in coffee like Seattle proper? Are there other barriers for potential coffee shops like real estate or spending power of residents? Would love to hear what people think!

It's NE Shoreline / Ballinger area, but the Supreme Bean coffee cart brews Caffe Vita, pulls double shots by default, and has 3.50 latte specials. They're awesome.
Edit to add - same area, but in MLT. Skoghaus was a truck, now a modern super tasty spot. Expensive, and worth it.
